James Madison by Lynne Cheney
This majestic new biography of James Madison explores the astonishing story of a man of vaunted modesty who audaciously changed the world. Among the Founding Fathers, Madison was a true genius of the early republic. Outwardly reserved, Madison was the intellectual driving force behind the Constitution and crucial to its ratification. His visionary political philosophy and rationale for the union of states-so eloquently presented in The Federalist papers-helped shape the country Americans live in today.We the People: The Story of Our Constitution, illustrated by Greg Harlin, is Lynne Cheney's most recent book, which was a New York Times bestseller. She's also the author of the New York Times bestsellers America: A Patriotic Primer, A Is for Abigail: An Almanac of Remarkable American Women, When Washington Crossed the Delaware: A Wintertime Tale for Young Patriots, A Time for Freedom: What Happened When in America, and Our 50 States: A Family Journey Across America, as well as a memoir called Blue Skies, No Fences. Mrs. Cheney is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and was previously the chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities. She and her husband, Vice President Richard B. Nixon, live in Washington, DC.
